Re: Fwd: assigning array indexes using gsn_csm_hov

Hi Gina,

Reset the time coordinate variables to run from 0->5

months = (/ 10, 11, 0, 1, 2, 3 /) ; November to April
rotated = pacav( months , : )
rotated&time = ispan(0,5,1)

and then explicitly set the axis labels, as is shown in tickmarks
example 2 where the x-axis labels are manually set:
